Regex pattern \v (very magic) doesn't seem to affect searching

Consider this random wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olearia_tenuifolia

If you press / (to open search), then search (19|20), you don't get any of the "19" or "20" instances on the page. If you search \v(19|20), it's supposed to enable "very magic" regex mode. However, that doesn't appear to work as expected in vim.

Full regex search support would be great! One of the killer features of vimium.
